nhj84 · June 26th, 2005

Hallo everybody

For some time now I've been trying to make some neat grass, but havent really been able to get a decent result, so I was hoping somebody could / would give me a helping hand. I would really appriciate it (hope that's spelled correct).

I was looking for something like this:

Hi whats a proceduring map ?

ecastillor · June 26th, 2005

It will all depend in what renderer U R using....
a displacement map is a regular image that actually modifies your geometry...

do a search on displacement.....

Here ist a house i did with vray and used a simple displacement map on the grass.....

eduardo,

thanks

Hey again

That looks very interesting ecastillor. I'l try to do a search on displacement, since I have no idea what it is.

By the way I use a demo of Vray, or mental ray.

Hi there,

'displacement' could be added as a map, or a modifier, depending on the program I guess. I am talking about Max.

It does require some more complex mesh than a simple plane, but it's worth it!

Post some attempts when IU try it out.
Cheers
